Exercise 9.5
Using the given data file (Ex9_5_NLR) in Matlab
format or text format, which contains
two predictors x1 and x2 and
predictand y data (80 observations), develop a nonlinear
regression model of y as a function of x1 and
x2. Briefly describe the approach taken (e.g. MLP,
SVR, ensemble, etc.). Forecast ytest using the new
test predictor data x1test and
x2test provided.
